I was 16 (now I’m 21) when I started listening to The Cranberries. They were the ones who made me like music in general, and they’re the ones I’ll probably always hold in my heart. And that is why I’m really biased when it comes to this particular band, …

Memories is a song by Weezer which appears on their album Hurley. Oddly, the song opens up with an abstract sounding intro before going into the rest of the track which carries the very characteristic Weezer power pop sound. The intro personally seemed a bit disjointed from the rest …

As one of the most popular country music songs between the years 2003 and 2005, the song ‘Sweet Southern Comfort’ by the first ever ‘Nashville Star’ winner Buddy Jewell is one that I will never be able to shake from my mind.
This wonderfully written song follows country music …

I remember how dissatisfied with this album I was after I bought it. It was a rather critical point then. I had bought the KMFDM album called Attak, released in 2002, and I liked it a lot. And then I saw this CD in the shop. And I thought: …

Overview —“ Chop Suey, another music video and single released by System Of A Down for their second record, Toxicity, is one of their more well known songs, and for good reason I’d say. The song has a lot of energy behind it yet it still has some softer …

The genius musicianship of R. Kelly was put to the test again on his 4th album “TP-2.com”. The album name serves as a continuation from his first album “12 Play”, with this album acting as the sequel: “Twelve Play-2”. Although 12 play was named because it consisted of 12 …

This is a great first album from this new pop punk band. More on the pop side than punk but still there. The lead singer embodies that sort of upper middle class dissolute rakish character and it works well. They’re certainly not the most intellectual band …

Pick ‘Em Up, Lay ‘Em Down by Toby Keith is the complete opposite of what we have been used to hearing from Toby Keith throughout his career. The song is about a man who doesn’t just go play around with whatever woman comes along and then forget about her. …

Overview —“ Waiting, the third music video released by Green Day in promotion of their album Warning would have to be what I would consider an unneeded music video. The song Waiting itself is a pretty mediocre song in my opinion and the music video would have to fall …

I thought that Doggystyle by Snoop Doggy Dogg was and still is a classic rap album. I remember in 1993 hearing about the album coming out and I just could not wait to go to my local music store to purchase it. I purchased the album on the day …

Overview —“ Brain Stew/Jaded is a music video that combines two tracks from Insomniac and makes them appear as if it is one song in the music video. Just as the songs sound different in tone and feel, the music videos for the two music videos are quite contrasting …

I have to admit that I really expected a little something different with Jennifer Hudson’s first big hit single. The production certainly sounds clean. But for some reason, the feel of the song sounds dated. Jennifer has an absolutely beautiful voice. And I think that …

Rihanna seems to be absolutely everywhere these days. With her ever-changing brightly colored, quirky hairstyles, it is very hard to miss her.

I have seen John Legend before, during one of his duet performance with Mariah Carey in one of the award show, but he did not really strike me as an outstanding singer until I heard his song - Ordinary People.
I was practically speechless when I first heard it played …

Rejoyce is a song by Jefferson Airplane which appears on their record After Bathing At Baxter’s. Just as a note, the title of this track is spelled as “rejoyce” rather than “rejoice” to pay homage to writer James Joyce, the author of Ulysses. The song starts off with a …

When I was younger back when I still somewhat interested in soca music, the soca music group Byron Lee and the Dragonaires were one of my favourite music groups. While I knew that the group originated in my homeland, unlike many other soca music groups, I recently found out …

You’re going to miss this by Trace Adkins is a song that I like a lot because as you get older a lot of times people miss when they were younger and had more time to have fun and were not anchored down by what they had to do. …

Boom Boom Pow is the new song from Black Eyed Peas. Like their previous song, it’s still a lot of beat, groove, and really nice to dance.
But, first time I hear this single, I can’t directly recognize that is the Blak Eyed Peas, because though the music is still …

Music is always in the background wherever I’m at. I find it vital to a relaxed, yet fun atmosphere. That said, I like all kinds of music also. About the only stuff you’re not gonna hear around me is heavy rap, heavy metal, or heavy elevator …

Here comes the judge! That’s right, this is the album that proved to the world Soundgarden was a legitimate threat to any rock Gods previous. Badmotorfinger, Soundgarden’s forth album, is where it really starts to get good.
